Just FYI, the only reason why I allow people to turn off those warnings in the
first place is so that they can demo incomplete software that may still have
some bugs in it. Or perhaps to temporarily disable warnings of bugs in the OS
that have slipped by our testing. But under no circumstances do I feel that they
should turn off those warnings for any extended period of time!

I know it's popular to trash MS, but honestly, ALL complex software has
bugs. Even though I believe that Palm, Inc. is doing an excellent job,
their software has bugs, too. Just stick to the issue here: if the Debug
ROM's warn about errors in your code, you should take the time to fix your
errors and don't just turn off the warnings. Your customers expect your
software to be as good as you can make it; never give them anything less.
